  1. In MRP terminology, what is a 'scheduled receipt'?

    Answer: An open order (purchase or production) already placed and expected to arrive

    Scheduled receipts are open orders already released that are expected to be received within the planning horizon.

  2. What is the purpose of 'action messages' generated by MRP?

    Answer: To alert planners to exceptions requiring attention, such as expediting or rescheduling orders

    Action messages notify planners of conditions requiring intervention, such as past-due orders, overdue releases, or excess inventory.

  3. Which MRP term refers to the total demand for a component before subtracting available inventory?

    Answer: Gross requirements

    Gross requirements represent the total quantity of a component needed before considering any on-hand inventory or open orders.

  4. What is 'manufacturing lead time' composed of?

    Answer: Queue time, setup time, run time, move time, and wait time

    Manufacturing lead time includes queue, setup, run, move, and wait times for a production order to complete.

  5. Which concept allows MRP to plan components across multiple product levels simultaneously?

    Answer: Explosion (BOM explosion)

    BOM explosion passes parent demand down through all BOM levels to generate component requirements at every level.

  6. What is a 'firm planned order' (FPO) in MRP?

    Answer: A planned order that has been frozen so MRP cannot automatically change its quantity or date

    An FPO is a planned order that a planner has manually frozen to prevent MRP from automatically rescheduling or changing it.
